SCHAEFER'S LADIES WEAR LTD. GODERICH Ground Floor Fabric Centre 0 4A—Clinton News-Record, Thursday, March 23, 1972' Pioneer Mus eum receives grants Social Services Committee busy This spring When visitors tour the Huron Pioneer Museum for the first time in the 1972 season they will notice a great many changes. Through the Property, Planning and Development Committees of Huron County Council, as well as two grants from the Provincial Government's Incentive Program, a number of neglected areas at the museum are being repaired, updated and expanded. The first program undertaken deals with the physical makeup of the facilities themselves. A grant totaling $10,050, which provides for the employment of 5 men for a total of 525 man days, (or 105 working days) will deal with, building such needed items as new show cases for various exhibits, painting both the rooms inside the museum and some areas outside .if weather permits later this spring, general repair and upkeep around the museum and the moving of exhibits. •Works grants not only furnish the funds necessary to pay two workmen on such jobs but also a percentage of the total project funds to go into the purchase of materials needed for the work. Program number two, presently underway at the museum, deals with the re- cataloguing of all items on exhibit, a massive undertaking when it is considered that there are well in excess of 11,000 exhibits on display. At the same time the items will be revalued and further research undertaken with a view to rewriting the museum booklet. The informative book on the exhibits was last done in 1967 and since that time has just been added to. As a result there are many new items to he included and the reorganization of displays will affect it somewhat as well. This program was granted $6,312.50 by the Ontario The first meeting of Clinton District.IV 4-H girls' sleepwear club was -held at Mrs. Isobel Gibson on Feb. 9 Betty Veenstra was elected president; Nancy Gibbings, vice president; Brenda Gibbings, press secretary, and Jean Falconer, Joanne Gibson, and Darlene Carnohan as phone girls. A short discussion on our record books and choosing our pattern and material, For demonstrations they demonstrated how to straighten material and how to shrink material before using. MEETING TWO The second meeting started with the 4-H pledge. The roll call came next, The club name is "The Government and employs, at the moment, twopersonS. It is hoped a third worker will be added to the staff soon to help complete the work. This busy winter at the Huron County Museum is under the direction of Raymond Scotchmer and Mrs. Friedel Nanz, who are in turn responsible to the committee of Huron County Council mentioned earlier who planned the work now in progress. Mr. Scotchmer notes that when the museum was originally set up the founders could hardly see into the future and even guess at how it would grow. As a result the 1972 reorganization has been necessitated to better centralize exhibits related to each other, The new show cases for example will help to show off the exhibits much better and will also provide more room in the already crowded facilities. By the end of May this year the programs presently underway will be wound up. The organizers stress that work will be far from completed but a good start will be made. It is estimated that to complete the necessary cataloguing and research it might take four to five years. The museum will be open during Young Canada Week this year for the first time in 19'72 and hopes to open officially in the summer to another boom year. In 1971 between 23 and 24,000 persons toured the exhibits, 1970 was the record year with 25,000 persons visiting the facilities. +++ In Montreal, says the Ontario Safety League, motorists who park their cars along certain streets in the winter are warned to move them by special horns installed on pick-up trucks that precede the snow plows by half an hour. P.J.'s". Minutes were read by Brenda Gibbings. The meeting was held at Brenda McIntosh, Feb. 16. The next meeting was Feb. 23 at Isobel Gibson.

Financed by grants from the Local Initiatives Program and the Manpower Programs, they are conducting a survey of social services in the county. The survey, of the overall health and social service needs of the county is being conducted by personal interviews with local officials (elected and appointed) professional and semi- professional people, community leaders and those who now use the existing services. It is hoped that on the basis of this survey the use of present services and the need for additional facilities can be determined. Before the survey winds up in May, it is planned that 1000 people will be interviewed. In the first three weeks of work those taking the survey have already talked to 250 persons. Three interviewers are at work in the county. Susan Bell is responsible for the areap of Hay, Stephen, Usborne, Tucker'smith, McKillop and Grey townships as well as the communities of Brussels, Seaforth, Hensall, Exeter, Zurich and Dashwood. In the central portion of the county, Art Maybury will interview officials in Colborne, Goderich, Stanley and Hullet townships and the communities of Goderich, Clinton, Hayfield and other villages in that area. Mrs. Kathlene MacDonald is in charge of northern Huron County the 1972 issue of the Huron County Soil and Crop. Newspaper. The Ontario Department of Agriculture hopes that as many young boys and girls between the ages of 11 and 20 as possible will take part in the 4-H program. Such County events as 4-H picnics, bus tours, field days, and Judging Competition, should make this year's 4-II program an interesting one. and the townships of Ashfield, West and East Wawanosh, Morris, Turnberry and Howick, as well as the urban areas of Wingham and Blyth. The committee explains the survey may well serve to better study the direction of services in the district and to make people more conscious of the fact that social services are now operated on a county basis. The survey, as it is presented, deals in a number of various areas. These include social services, teenagers, senior citizens, welfare, health services, psychiatric services, housing, recreation and crime. Under each of these subjects, those interviewed are asked for their opinions on the various subjects as to how they are administered under present social service programs. Suggested changes and possible new programs are also asked for. The social services committee is under the direction of Isabel MacDonald and consists of John Fleming a consultant from the Services, Chris Rompf- statistical clerk, Rev. G.G. Russell-chairman of the survey committee and Basil Hall- chairman of the co-ordinating committee. Since the surveyors are speaking with selected individuals, the organizers point out they would be glad to hear from anyone with comments to make on the social services set up. They would especially like to talk with persons making use of ' such services in any way about suggestions for improvements. The number to call is 524-7733 ttween 9:00 a,m. and 5:00 p,m, onday through Friday.
